For more than two weeks, I have been stuffing all kinds of food in my mouth. Eating when I am bored or stressed is my not-so secret shame. My brief non-running meltdown set me in a tailspin. I had no control.
My coworkers laugh when I say I eat too much when they see me chow down on all things healthy during the course of my day at the office. Often I am too busy to reach for more food. It’s usually after hours when the rails come off.
I gasped when I walked by a full length mirror yesterday. I looked like a wreck. Yes I know it is nearly impossible to gain copious amounts of weight in 14 days. But I sure as heck looked like hell. Being a slob can do that to a person! I took stock of my self-inflicted situation and started with some immediate goals.
My Naglene bottles hold 32 ounces. That means I should drink 2 bottles plus 8 ounces of water. At work, I try to drink one bottle before noon and another before I leave for the day. It’s not too difficult especially when I go to crossfit in the morning. I feel a shift already and it’s only been a few days. I feel less scattered brained and focused.
Next up will obviously be getting my eating habits back in order. Generally I am conscious of what I put in my body and its effects. But sometimes the mind is weak.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!
